Project Goal

Million Marker will test 20 invisible orthodontic appliances sourced from both dental practices and direct-to-consumer online markets for performance and safety.

Invisible orthodontics, while offering discreet treatment, may release microplastics and chemicals like BPA into patients' bodies.

Studies show elevated levels of these substances in users, decreasing after discontinuation. Material breakdown due to oral conditions and daily exposure raises health concerns.

Invisible Orthodontics Testing

Retainers, guards, and aligners are worn extensively, exposing users to potential chemical leaching during chewing and grinding. Concerning substances like BPA, phthalates, and VOCs may release from dental plastics, risking hormone disruption and other health issues. With the global market valued at $3.8 billion in 2023 and growing rapidly, comprehensive safety testing is urgent. Your support will help us identify safer options as the market expands
